The Racine Carnival is a beloved summertime tradition held as part of the Racine County Fair at the Racine County Fairgrounds in Union Grove, Wisconsin. Each July, fairgoers from across southeastern Wisconsin and beyond gather for a week of classic fair fun, where a lively carnival midway becomes one of the centerpiece attractions.
